BUCKHANNON — When the Buckhannon-Upshur High School boys track team heads to Laidley Field this morning for the WVSSAC Track and Field Championship, they’ll be taking nine athletes to compete in eight events.

“We have nine guys going in eight events, which is phenomenal,” coach Patty Wager said. “They’ve done really well and worked really hard.”

Regional shot put champion Isaac Johnson is probably Buckhannon’s best shot at medaling, but the team has their eyes on several other events as well.
